context_page_description: The Gorgas–Manly Historic District is a historic district that includes 12 acres and eight buildings on the campus of the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The buildings represent the university campus as it existed from the establishment of the institution through to the late 19th century. Two buildings included in the district, Gorgas House and the Little Round House, are among only seven structures to have survived the burning of the campus by the Union Army, under the command of Brigadier General John T. Croxton, on April 4, 1865. The other survivors were the President's Mansion and the Old Observatory, plus a few faculty residences.
  Woods Hall was the first building constructed following the American Civil War. The remaining five buildings, Clark, Manly, Garland, Tuomey and Barnard Halls, represent campus construction during the economic recovery that followed the end of the Reconstruction era.
  The construction of Manly, Clark, Garland, and other buildings was financed by the sale of a large portion of 46,800 acres of land given by the United States Congress to the University as repayment "for the fiery ruin brought by Federal troops in 1865."
